Thus, 22 start-ups will receive a free stand at IMW 2018 (October 3-4, Romexpo – Pavilion B1) and 7 of these companies will present their products on IMWorld’s Main Stage.
Most work in the fintech area, but the spectrum is extremely wide and diverse, covering business segments such as agrotech, autotech, e-learning, AR / VR technologies, mobile applications for the blind, photo-realistic holograms and tools for the correct application of GDPR.
You will be able to meet with all these start-ups in the StarTech Factory reserved space. The complete list is on https://imworld.com/startups
